I know that it is a pretty common occurrence to see websites which have a "paid" or "subscriber" option which then disables (or hides) the onscreen advertising - which is there - let's face it - to make money.
I am a paid subscriber - I have two accounts (I'm an alt addict) and by sheer chance I have been offline (at work or doing other things) during both of the "onscreen ad" (pet day and senche mention) events. So I don't know if I would have seen them.
I am curious to know if anyone with a paid membership is seeing these ads, or if they exist to help generate revenue from non-paying (or at least non-subscribing) players.

Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

Confirmed. I have an active subscription and saw the multi-language, on-screen derp advertisements the other night...0 -

✭✭Yes, I'm subbed and I saw them.
Frankly I think it disgusting that subbed players are seeing them.
If I'm going to be treated like an unsubbed player I may as well be one.

ThatNeonZebraAgain✭✭✭✭✭Yep, paid subscribers do indeed get the obnoxious ads.
There should be no in-game system message ads for any players, subbed or non-subbed. End of story
EDIT: Here is proof you get the message even when subbed:

✭Yes.
But if ZoS keeps this crap up I"m sure pretty soon there won't be any subbed people left. Especially with lack of content since 1.4.2 -
